traci's hilo birthday

So, there was a lot of wildness this night, including a dude with leopard print tattoos over 90% of his body. Singing, dancing, and that was just in the living room. Than we went to the Hilo in cabs (for those of you in real cities, fuck you for having cabs that show up within 15 minutes when you call), proceecded to get hammered, then the dfry for fries at last call; we nearly lost Jay to some dude, and had to circle around twice to get him. Props to (in no particular order): The Morracan cabbie that dealt with our drunk asses, the bartenders at both bars, my downstairs neighbors for not calling the authorities, and finally, to Sarah, Reaghan, Sophia (who was somewhat new to this madness at the time), and of course, the birthday girl, Traci. <div class=”center”>

sarah francois comes to town

My friends are sort of scattered, not just in the head, but geographically. All over the US and in several countries abroad as well. So I’m always stoked to see one of them come through my neck of the woods. Sarah is one of those friends with whom distance and time don’t matter; A hug and a beer and then we’re back on bikes, as if no time had passed since we’d last seen each other. Ben, her Londoner boyfriend, came along, and with Sophie rounding out a quartet, we had a grand time catching up. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/sarah_francois_comes_to_town/682/0031.jpg’> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/sarah_francois_comes_to_town/682/0032.jpg’> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/sarah_francois_comes_to_town/682/0033.jpg’> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/sarah_francois_comes_to_town/682/0034.jpg’> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/sarah_francois_comes_to_town/682/0035.jpg’> </div>

shivery shakes and boom bang at blue note

This show was really rad. The Shivery shakes were good enough that I went right up after the set and bought their EP and followed them “on twitter”:https://twitter.com/shiveryshakes . And then the boom bang was in fine form, as usual. Good show, good times. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/shivery_shakes_and_boom_bang_at_blue_note/685/0018.jpg’> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/shivery_shakes_and_boom_bang_at_blue_note/685/0019.jpg’> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/shivery_shakes_and_boom_bang_at_blue_note/685/0020.jpg’> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/shivery_shakes_and_boom_bang_at_blue_note/685/0021.jpg’> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/shivery_shakes_and_boom_bang_at_blue_note/685/0022.jpg’> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/shivery_shakes_and_boom_bang_at_blue_note/685/0023.jpg’> </div>
